Liverpool were seriously interested in signing Gabri Veiga and even made an offer to hire his services. However, he is set to complete a shock move to the Middle East.
Back in June, the Reds offered the Spaniard a contract worth 5 million euros per year (via Corriere del Mezzogiorno).
The Celta Vigo midfielder was also on the radar of Napoli, and less than a week ago, Fabrizio Romano revealed the Italian champions agreed a deal worth £30.8m (36 million euros) to sign him.
In a shocking turn of events, the famous transfer expert confirmed today that Veiga is now headed to Saudi Arabian club, Al-Ahli. He stated on X:
“Gabri Veiga to Al Ahli, here we go! Bid accepted by Celta, player also said yes
Real Madrid superstar and five-time Champions League winner, Toni Kroos, who won the World Cup with Germany in 2014, has described the move as “embarrassing”.
Last season, Gabri directly contributed in 15 goals in the Spanish La Liga and scored a brace in the victory against champions, Barcelona, on the final day of the campaign.
